Filmmaker Richard Symons on the challenges of audio for film and his series Price of Kings
The Duet’s been our workhorse for a while now. We’ve got a couple and use them either in the edit for playback or make sure we bring one along to an audio post facility with several sets of headphones that we’re used to – normally Sennheiser HD650′s. So that’s our reference point. From there we can tell how the digits are translating to the outside world, the sound of any other speaker set up or room acoustics. If it sounds good to us in the cans alongside the Duet, we know that even if there’s some extended bass or whatever going on, that’s a function of somebody else’s set-up and can make judgements accordingly…
